Crime

Carl Templar-Vasey principally defends in serious and complex criminal cases. He is highly regarded for providing first-class trial advocacy and an unwavering commitment to his client’s cases.

An extensive legal knowledge enables him to absorb and analyse substantial material and focus upon crucial tactical considerations.  This coupled with a natural rapport with juries helps to make complicated issues clear and his presentation of cases polished.

He speaks with authority and is highly regarded by both professional and lay clients for his ability to get to the heart of a matter quickly. His down to earth manner means he is known for being an excellent communicator, placing those he represents at ease in often difficult and unusual circumstances.

Carl is instructed as both a leading and led junior in:

• Homicide
• Serious violence (s18, armed robbery, arson & attempted murder)
• Serious organised crime (Conspiracies to steal & rob, cash in transit & gang related offences)
• Fraud and dishonesty offences
• Drugs offences
• Sexual offences (Rape, sexual assault, historic offences & offences against children)
• Misconduct in a public office
